Novak Djokovic has done it all in tennis, but even he had three items on his bucket list entering 2023: 1) capture an elusive Olympic gold medal, a record-setting 25th major and a 100th ATP Tour title.
The Serb knocked off one of the three with a win over Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 Paris Olympics final, which also gave him his 99th ATP title. However, he failed in his quest for the other two feats when he lost to Jannik Sinner in Shanghai and Alcaraz at Wimbledon.
Djokovic now has another opportunity to capture his 100th ATP title. On Friday, he demolished Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, in the semifinals of the Miami Open, setting up a final showdown against either World No. 4 Taylor Fritz or Jakub Mensik.
A win on Sunday will give Djokovic his 100th ATP title, seventh Miami Open title and first title since the Paris Olympics. After Friday's win, he didn't shy away from the fact that the milestone has been in the back of his mind for nearly a year.
“After the Olympics, which was my 99th title, I knew that every tournament I play I am going for 100. I wasn't able to achieve that — until hopefully Sunday," he said, via ATP Tour. "I am going to go all in. I haven't dropped a set. I'm playing really good tennis, as good as I've played in a long time."
